Alternator ______________________ Three-phase AC, 24 V/55 A
Starter ____________________________ 24 V/7 kW
Travel drive
Stepless hydrostatic travel drive
Design ____________________________ Swash plate type variable flow pump
and two variable axial piston motors
in closed loop circuit. Direction of
travel in reversed by changing the
flow-direction of the variable-dis-
placement pump
Filtering system ______________ Suction filter for closed circuit
Control __________________________ By travel and inching pedal. The
inching pedal makes it possible to
control the tractive and thrust forces
steplessly at full engine speed. The
Liebherr joystick is used to control
forward and reverse travel and select
the travel stagesrange

to each side. 470 mm in height can be
driven over (with all four wheels
remain in contact with the ground)
Differentials ________________________ Automatic limited-slip differentials
with 45 % locking action in both axles
Reduction gear ____________________ Planetary final drive in wheel hubs
Track width __________________________ 1960 mm with all types of tyres
Brakes
Wear-free
service brake ________________________ Self-locking of the hydrostatic travel
drive (acting on all four wheels)
and additional pump-accumolator
brake system with wet multi-disc
brakes located in the differential
housing. Two seperate brake circuits
Parking brake ______________________ Electro-hydraulically actuated spring-
loaded disc brake system on the front
axle
